The Milestone Celebration of 70 or More Years of Praising God

"70+, single and still praising God" is a milestone celebration for seniors who are widowed or were never married. On Sunday, August 9, we honored them for their years of service and friendship.

St. Mark's members who participated in the celebration were Roxie Larson, Bobbie Yetsko, Elsie Sechler, Gladys Knauss, Ann Kuntz, Shirley Vognet, Janet Jones, Elda Zeigler, Ruth Pile, Ruth Burkholder, Cecil Calvert. Blanch Doebler, Catherine Lundy, Michael Ochs, Norma Prato, and Carl Smollinger.

The group enjoyed a lunch of fruit and cheese, grilled teriyaki chicken salad and apple rosettes in fellowship hall.

Each participant was asked request hymns which had significance in their lives. These were incorporated into the service that day or used for a sing-a-long after lunch. The favorites? Here I am, Lord, How Great Thou Art, It came upon a Midnight Clear, Nearer my God to Thee, Old Rugged Cross, On Eagle's Wings, Shall We Gather at the River, Silent Night, This is my Father's World, What a Friend we have in Jesus, and When Peace like a River.

An enjoyable time for all.
